Fruit

I am currently eating some peaches from the jpj dining all and they are very yummy! I have heard that if you eat to much of the same fruit that it is not as good for you. You need to switch the kinds of fruit that you eat up. My favorite fruit is strawberries. mmm! I love berries in general. blackberries, blueberries, rasberries. I enjoy kiwi, green apples, some peaches, green grapes, watermelon and much more. I love fruit in general its just wonderful. I am really enjoying my peaches and I do not know the last time I had them, so if the switch you fruits up becuase its better for you theory is correct I am most definitly getting the full effect. Nom nom nom!!! Don't you feel like apples and bananas are to blow up? There not THAT good and yet they are everywhere. Why is that? You don't see kiwi just floating around and yet its DELISH! hmmm I wonder why? Lifes mysteries...

Bahamas

So I just got back from the Bahamas late satruday night and it was amazing! First off we won and are champions which was the most important thing. We played Inidian and South Dakota State. And we lost to south dakota state 3 years ago in the same tournament so they were in for some payback. It was a really great game. They were all three points shooters. Every single player on that team could stroke threes. 1 through 5 position. That is how they stayed in the game they would have back to back trips up the court hitting threes. But in the end we won and it was a marvoulous victory.

The Bahamas its self was beautiful!!! I had never been their before so it was awesome. our first day there we had a "beach day" where there was a water trampoline, jet ski's, banana boat, kiyacks and other fun stuff but we werent allowed to be on anything with a motor but it was still cool. It was also raining during our beach day but I repeate it was still very fun.

There was also very cool shops and a "market." this market was all outdoors with people just sitting by their stuff. I ended up spending pretty much all my per diem. I just couldn't help myself. And everywhere I went i would here "come over here beautiful come look at my things." Becuase they say before how much i bough at the previous store. I am such a sucker! hahah.

Alltogether it was a very sucessful trip if I may say so myself. And Both of my parents came too so I still kinda sorta got to celebrate thanksgiving with them too which was really nice.
hope everyones thanksgiving was great and they enjoyed their time home with their families!

Energy Drinks

I am currently at the library working on a few papers that I need to get finished before I go on our trip to the Bahamas. I am at the library with two of my teamates Chelsea and Moni. And when Moni came she brought us both a red bull. I never drink energy drinks but I decided why not so I did. Thoughts on energy drinks in general? Do people drink them becuase they like the taste or becuase they need the energy? both? I personally like the energy drink "Rockstar." I used to drink that all the time back in the day. Amp was always a good one as well. Never a huge redbull fan though. Anyone ever tried on of those 5 hour engery booster things? Are they good? Do they actually legit work or is it all a placebo effect type deal? I am suspicious. scams. I do not feel any more engergized. LIES!

Tanning

So we had our first home game the other night and on the cover of the game paper that they hand out to everyone was all five of the first years. out of the five first years we have 3 that are black and 2 that are white. The background of the cover was black as well and that did not help at all either. When I went out to shoot before our game I saw one of the guys that works there holding and was like "this girl looks like shes in a corpes." I looked so white I actually looked like i was dead. No jokE. Like a living VAMPIRE. It was horrible. And everyone thought it was so harlious that they wanted me to sign my invisible picture.

I have always gotten white jokes becuase I am pretty much albino but it never really phased me. Until I saw myself the other day on this cover. After 19 years of refusing to go tanning, I gave in. Two of my teamates Erinn and Chelsea ( who are both very tan) finally convinced me to go with them. Plus my mom saw the cover and was like heres the credit card...go tanning. So today was the third time I've gone tanning. And all of my teamates are relaly excited to see the results. I still feel like its just not going to work and that I ligit don't have pigment but atleast I can say I offically tried everything.

So hopefully after a few more times and by the time we play games on TV I won't look like a vampire anymore. But if I do..just accept my vampire ways and LOVE ME FOR IT! :)

Gatorade. Is it in you?

I am sitting here wondering what to blog about while I drink my delicious Gatorade. So I figured why not talk about something I enjoy very much. I like gatorade. a lot. It is just one of those things that you can drink all the time. You can drink it anywhere, anytime and anyone can enjoy it! There is no age limit to enjoy this taste treat. I myself am a fan of lemon-lime. It's just amazing. And I am currently drinking it. But gatorade is one of those drinks that is amazing in every flavor. It truely is. And now a day there are just so many exotic flavors I cannot keep up with. I stay simple and classy with my lemon-lime but I'll never no to trying a wonderful new yummy gatorade flavor if it come my way. The thing about gatorade is though it is actually not that great for you. My trainor always yells at me for drinking so much. He says it is very good fro replenishing after working out or a game but not just throughout the day. But I do anyways because its delish and I can't say no to the giant G with a lightning through it. Thoughts on gatorade? Is everyone a fan? I do not actually think I have ever come across a person who was not a huge fan. Please inform me other wise. Until then, Keep replenishing your bodies and enjoying the lovely refreshing taste of gatorade.

Gatorade. Is it in you? ...or just me?

First Game

I am currently in a quiet room at a hotel in maryland. I am in "study hall" on the road. We have OUR FIRST GAME tonight at 7pm!!! I am soo excited! Both my parents are coming my roomate from high school who I have not seen since the summer, my other frined shane, and all my roomates friends from college. We play UMBC tonight. I cannot really focus on my work because I am so jumpy so I figured I would blog instead. It felt so werid to sleep in a hotel on a week day. I was confsued on why we would sleep over when it is only a 3 hour bus ride and our game is not until 7pm on Friday. But it was a new and fun experince. I roomed with my teamate Whitney and we watched Clev. Miami game last night. The pillows in the hotel were too fluffy. I had a lot of trouble adjusting to the size and feeling of these overly fluffy pillows. It became a problem. But I eventually just threw all the pillows off the bed, so it was okay. Anyway's study hall is over and we now have practice ( which doesn't make sence to me either haha) but I going! Yay!!!! And if we won tonight Coach Ryan gets her 700th win!! Just a heads up we have our home opener on sunday! Please come! GOODLUCK TO OUR BOYS TEAM TONIGHT!!! SHOUT OUT TO MY BOY TRIST!!

Optimisim

I think optimism is so important. The other day I had a really bad day and I was just so mad and upset. Nothing was going right. There was nothing I could have done but to think that someone how there has it way worse then I do. No matter how bad my day is I still have a great family and friends who love me, I'm getting a great education, I'm playing the sport I love, I am healthy and have many more wonderful things in my life that plenty of people do not. Whenever things are not going the way they should, just think about all the things that you do have and are happy with. It is never as bad as it seems. And I think always being optimistic is essential. The next day after my "bad day" I decided that today was going to be a good day. No matter what. Becuase I determine whether or not my day is going to be good or not. As hard as it is sometimes you always need to smile and enjoy life. You only live once. I had been struggling for a few days at practice and I could have done one of two things: give up and accept it or change it. I changed it. I will never accept defeate. Never quit and never give up. Because in the end I believe it will all work out. Always stay positive and optimistic!!!!
